I am very sad indeed to hear of the sudden and unexpected death of André Alexander. I had only recently finished working with him on an article based on one of his many conservation projects. Working with André was interesting, educational, and a lot of fun. Like many, many others, I will miss him. If you don’t know his work, please go on to read about his Tibet Heritage Fund, and have a look at the introduction to his Temples of Lhasa. Below I reproduce some words by Per Sørensen on André’s many achievements.
